The patient's AVF bled from the ulceration profusely.
Vascular surgery was consulted for bleeding from the ulceration overlying his AVF site

It sounds like the Vascular surgeon did the stitches...is that who you are coding for?

I code for ED for facility and we charge for everything done in the ED including specialist coming to ED to do any work. In this case, the vascular surgeon came to ED as consult and did the stiches. As it was the vascular consult, I thought maybe someone in this group maybe able to help me.
